Window trim, polished or black?
If I should post examples in this thread let me know.
Meh!! I tried to add an option for "body color" but I guess you can't edit polls.

Yep, there is monochromatic. Like I did w/ my Z. Black trim is good if you have the body trim on side panels in black. Blends in w/ the windows best too esp if they are tinted. Unless you leave off the door trim-black is best IMO. I’m a professional artist.

Chrome is Good
It all depends on the look you are going for, but be consistent. If you take the stainless trim off, and strip it with paint remover, it is already pretty shiny, just needs a bit of polishing. And be careful - the metal is pretty thin, and those polishing wheels have a habit of grabbing things.
If you use the polished look, find some early (78-80) GLC door handles, which are the same as ours, but chrome plated. I was inconsistent with my convertible because I kept the black mirrors, but here is a photo, such as it is:
